Announced Today: The addition of two new Panamera Models to Porsches’ collection.
Porsche just released it just three months after successfully launching the first four-door Gran Turismo in three V8 designs: the Panamera S, the Panamera 4S and the Panamera Turbo. The Panamera and Panamera 4, the model line’s new versions, can be found in most Porsche Dealerships and of course here at L.A. Car Connection by June 2010. Both feature a brand-new 3.6-liter V6 with Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) developing 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The Panamera spreads its power to the road by its newly designed rear wheels, while the Panamera 4 comes standard with active all-wheel drive. Both exquisitely built. The Panamera and Panamera 4 are examples of the Porsche Intelligent Performance development strategy. With more and more people going “green” these models are equipped with the PDK gearbox and the Auto Start Stop function. Porsche anticipates these new models to be significantly more fuel efficient than their normally aspirated V8 siblings. Like the proven V8 models, both the Panamera and the Panamera 4, as genuine Gran Turismos, combine a sporting character with the high standard of comfort and everyday driving traits. This provides a wide range of suspension qualities and features, with a high level of motoring comfort on the one hand and extremely sporting driving dynamics on the other. Both models will be making their world debut at the Beijing Motor Show on April 23, 2010. The Panamera and Panamera 4 MSRPs are $74,400 and $78,900, respectively. Since its U.S. introduction in October 2009, the Panamera has received numerous awards and recognition. The Panamera Turbo was named Playboy Magazine’s 2010 Car of the Year.
